If recycling content on a Friday because it’s someone’s birthday is good enough for All Out Cricket, well it’s also good enough for us. Have you seen this week’s Cricket Badger? If you have you’ll realise that we’re not exactly desperate to pour heart, soul and time into something new as this week draws to a close.

So this is pretty much it. Today’s news is basically that Inzy’s a day older. As are you. Same as every day.

No article about Inzy could be complete without referring to the time whilst fielding in a match at the Toronto Skating and Curling club when he called to the dressing room for his bat in order to wade into the crowd and bludgeon a spectator who had been calling him a fat potato. Reminiscent of Eric Cantona in his pomp.

That All About Cricket article is an extraordinary piece. Part way through you say “Matthew Hayden”, but I can’t find the phrase “pompous oaf” anywhere. Nor “barrel-chested buffoon”, nor indeed “guff-spouting cretin”. All you say is “Matthew Hayden”.

Obviously Matthew Hayden didn’t say he felt like Inzamam-ul-Haq. Obviously Matthew Hayden said that Matthew Hayden channelled the potentiality of performance within a co-binding structure of Inzamam-ul-Haq complexity limitation parameters. But for some reason you chose to simplify that into the English language phrase in the article.
